The extreme heat of several days
past has been tempered by showers
in various localities in the north
west, and has not, probably, so far,
proved destructive to the growing
crops. But drenching general rains
will soon be everywhere needed. A
prolonged heated term is favorable
to chinch-bugs and other enemies of
the grain, who grow and wax in de-
structive energy under the heated
aife of dog-days suns. At this sea
son of the year the grains, the
grasses and potatoes need cool,
soaking rains. The cold and the
wet promote the growth of the
stalks of grain and repress the de-
velopment of the pests of the soil.
When wheat is in the milk, hot
weather produces premature ripe
ness that is as bad as blight, and the
kernels become shrunken in their
coats of chaff A cool season
throughout is best for this staple
crop. We may hope that our hot
"snap" has come 30 early and will
be so abbreviated as not to cause
great damage in the wheat belt.

many things as offensive to the old

A PRINCE In DISGUISE.
Detroit Man Finds that He Is Rightfully
an Italian Nobieman.

DETROIT Oct 3.-Arthur J. Barnes, forty
seven years old, Methodist churchman in good
standing and reputable gentleman. has caused
a sensation by a curious story which he made
public to-day. He has lived in Detroit for
twenty five years and is man of swarthy com
plexion, tall and angular black side whiskers
and hair slightly silvered. and looks much like
an Italian which he says he is.
Until I was twenty-one years DID," said Mr..
Barnes, II thought was the of the English
man and woman who had brought me MP
Then they thought proper to tell me who / was.
1t Is from their accounts, verified by historical
data and circumstances occurring on the trip
recently made TO Italy, that made up my biogra-
ply" Mr.. Barnes says that he is Lucian De-
mont Carnesia, of the prince of that name
living in Italy in 1886. Italy was then torn
asunder by internal aud external discord. His
uncle, MazZini was the recognized head of the
party known as young Italy" until Garibaldi
succeeded him. In 1899 Barnes father was
made prisoner by consprators, who beheaded
him just six months before young Carnesias
birth. This took place on shipboard the
British ship. Halcyon, to which his mother
she hit by a shall and killed. The child was
taken to England and adopted by a family
named Barrett who were paid ESQ year for
his care The Burrsts went to Australia,
shipwrecked and cast a small island, taken
off in an American whaler and landed at Prince
Edwards Island. The Burrets then settled in
Montreal Thence they went to California and
later to Cuba The overland train to the Pacific
WAS attacked by Indians, who were beaten off,
and another shipwreck occurred on the voyage
to Cuba.

Through the oficiousness of some OF the Dem

under command of Mai. James R. Ross. and
was to include all clubs other than the Duck

Hendricks Club wanted to go with the first

members considered the whole affair

There is considerable feeling among Catholic

of the Catholic schools by the I'm anagers of the
